MySpace Bulletin Case Study

By David Turnbull
First, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.

ID: 1876
Name: Superb Rewards - Free IPOD Nano (Brand New!)
# x- G% l; o8 |8 N# XPayout: $1.40
. p2 Y# {. H& w
+ S3 f  C9 S, y) [  U) M+ D- A9 y, XWhy did I choose this offer?
- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
- Decent Payment ($1.40); One of the higher paying iPod offers so I thought it was a good choice.
- Good Reward (iPod Nano); iPods are all the craze lately, some may say it is saturated but a lot of people still don???t have, and want an iPod.
# ]7 k8 o/ {. a- Z' ~- Appeals to my demographic; It???s usually the younger people wanting iPods, so 18-25 is usually a good range.

I have a MySpace account with 5400 friends (as of now) and I posted a simple bulletin with the following fields:
5 q, ~; j, A4 Q  s" N
) w1 f/ Z8 h3 O* {5 S6 LSubject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
Body: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!" CLICK HERE!!!
3 z( H( D$ w; H$ ~$ d' R0 }
Of course, I linked the CLICK HERE!!! to my advertisers web address.

Nothing too spectacular. I got about 10 people clicking on my Link and half of them completed the offer, so I didn???t make too much.

: ^$ I0 X, @4 s1 _9 j: f' j5 ~Why? Probably because I???ve used this account for advertising in the past and people have become wary to avoid my bulletins. I did convert at 50% though, so that???s very good ??「 I just needed more clicks.

( z$ l4 _2 f1 [) R5 ePost a bulletin on each account.
. E( E; w7 d* i6 dEach gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.

$ E$ ~/ C6 P( E+ B0 L1 Y1 A8 @Bulletins get buried fairly quickly also, so if you post 3 a day, and say you get an average of $2 per bulletin.

You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.
- _/ m7 \0 m4 t0 \  [* ZPost a bulletin on each account 3 Times a Day.
Each gives $2.00
; h0 b3 k5 P' L) _8 A6 N3 o% O$2.00 x 3 = $6.00
$6.00 x 100 Accounts
$600 in your pocket

; B2 u5 E6 W) c" K*You may not have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each, so maybe cut a deal with other MySpacers (basically revenue sharing) and decide to advertise one Azoogle offer together and then split the profits accordingly.
